National Fitness Campaign Grant March 2, 2021 Page 2 On February 4, 2020, the City of Santa Ana submitted a grant application to the NFC to build three additional fitness courts at Carl Thornton Park, Lillie King Park, and Heritage Park. On January 20, 2021, the City of Santa Ana received three $30,000 grants from NFC to participate as a Model City in the 2021 National Fitness Campaign. Approval of the multi- site application was based on the City of Santa Ana’s commitment to free health and fitness options, development of stakeholder consensus, and the exceptional and active public spaces where we will launch our Fitness Courts and the NFC program. Total funding required for the purchase per Fitness Court® (includes mobile app, sports floor, communications and press releases, activation campaign, etc.) is $139,065 plus installation. The $30,000 grant per site operates as a credit towards the total purchase price of the Fitness Court. Installation costs may be different from site to site, as location conditions vary as well as the ability to use in-house staff for some of the installation when possible. As a requirement to the grant, the City must adopt a resolution to demonstrate funding and support towards the projects. The City is prepared to fully fund the balance needed ($109,065 per site) for the purchase of the three courts. This resolution does not financially commit the City, but rather states that the City will endeavor to secure the remaining funds needed. The Fitness Court is a 32’ x 35’ outdoor bodyweight circuit training system that supports 28 simultaneous users on 30 separate pieces of equipment that are grouped into seven stations. The 7 movement, 7-minute system, provides a full-body workout to people of all ability levels. The integrated system includes a sports floor to simulate the indoor gym exercise and the steel bodyweight training wall provides users with many exercise combinations. The Fitness Court is supported by “National Campaign Resources”. This is a digital ecosystem that includes a mobile app, the Campaign’s social media support team, promotional materials and programming to assist public agencies in building support for fit living in community spaces. No other vendor, distributor, or organization sells this system. The fitness court must be acquired from the NFC, LLC. FISCAL IMPACT Funding in the amount of $237,455 ($176,910-Cannabis Public Benefit Fund and $60,545-Capital Outlay Fund) is budgeted and available to go towards the estimated total cost of $450,000 for all three sites. For the balance, the requested appropriation
